Ashen Vows

Details

In the desolate, fog-shrouded estate of Blackwood, Elara Vance has spent two years as the solitary keeper of a monstrous secret: Lord Kaelen Thorne, heir to a notorious legacy, lies ensnared in a death-like slumber. Her nights are plagued by the memory of his raw brutality, a violence that once nearly claimed her life and buried another. "Stay asleep, my lord," she would whisper, a desperate prayer against the haunting silence, "for your awakening is my ruin." But fate, or perhaps a cruel jest, intervenes. One storm-swept night, Kaelen's eyes flutter open, devoid of memory but brimming with an untamed, primal intensity. Confronted by the man who knows nothing of his own dark past or the blood on his hands, Elara's terror drives her to utter a desperate falsehood. "I am Lady Elara, your betrothed." Trapped within the crumbling walls of Blackwood, bound by a lie to a man whose past she meticulously buried, Elara must navigate the volatile desires of a ruthless amnesiac who sees her as his rightful possession, all while the ghosts of Kaelen's true identity stir in the shadows, threatening to expose her deception and unleash the true monster she dreads.
